West Bromwich Albion are currently 14th in the league, and have lost three of their last five league games. They were expected to fight for promotion when the season began, and it is evident that the campaign has not gone according to plan.
Fulham, on the other hand, are top of the league, and look set for a swift return back to the top flight of English football. In Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fulham possess a true game-changer. The Serbia international has registered an astonishing 35 league goals this season in just 33 games.
